Of the links in your previous post, I liked the Arjen Lucassen stuff far better than Arid, although jaspers vocals do shine through in both. I do like the Gordian Knot material, not sure it's what...

Re: Bands Like Muse I just made a Pandora station and started listening to Mansun and I kinda dig them. I looked up Sixth Period and it does have echoes of Muse, but I'm beginning to like them for their own unique sound. Thanks for the suggestion!

First let me say Kei, you a very lucky if your vocals are good, but in the world of Rock, metal, new wave, new age, whatever genre, or sub-genre you're in your vocals must stand out. I think that is the case with Jasper, and that's why he is heading up these bands. I am not primarily a vocalist, even though I can sing, (I've even had professional vocal lessons - but that was in a choral setting) and I can stay in key, but there...

I think Muse have a certain uniquemess. there is no band that sounds just like them (although I expect there will be in the next 5 years or so)

I like both Radiohead and Muse in equal measure tho I wouldn't say they were samey. Can't think of any new bands like them but Muse do often sound like a modern Pink Floyd but in their old style,if that makes sense.

I'd say Placebo possibly come closest for me, perhaps some stuff by the manic street preachers too?

Mansun - especially in their Six period - sound impressive when randomly shuffled with Muse.
